A photograph of a man seated on an ornate throne with a carved golden back shaped like a peacock-feather fan and a dark red velvet cushion. He wears a rust-orange turban with a gold brooch and a small red bindi, a rust-orange shawl with gold edging, a red and gold garland of beads and flowers, a gold bead necklace, and gold bangles on his wrists. He holds a tall silver trident (trishul) upright in his right hand and smiles. Behind him is a blurred temple-style backdrop with carved stone figures and a thatched pavilion. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the turban, saffron-orange clothing, garland and trident cues.
